    Suggestion:
    You can apply for an image to be generated as a set of maps and have them put in a chest to be placed where ever you wish. Maybe the cost would be 5k-20k.
    Reason:
    Obvious enough, it could be used to make things look really nice. For example, the Zodiac banner at the Zodiac Nation spawn. Also, maybe an image layout showing a blueprint of a mall for easy shopping.
    Any Other Information:
    I made a picture of what this would look like. There are multiple plugins that do this, I simply found one that supported multiple maps.

    This might be a very difficult feature to add, though maybe Jamie can make his own plugin rather then using ImageMaps.


    Link To This Plugin/Is this a custom addition?: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/imagemaps/ Best plugin for this sort of thing.

    I actually... Like this idea.

    I'd much rather it cost in ECD though - Most people wont pay 5 USD for a simple image and it's best done in an application where the applicant can specify what image they want.

    I didn't specify what rank is able to apply for it - Just the ability to apply for it via ECD itself :p

    Is this even possible? Item frames have not worked for the longest time.

    Not worked? I suppose you can't lock them, but that's yet another difficulty for this.

    To address the different points...

    1. I experimented with pixel art on maps a long time ago. I found out that server restarts and many other things can make maps blank until the area they are linked to is visited by a player again. So it might be extremely difficult to avoid maps from clearing.

    2. Item frames are disabled for a reason.

    Good point. I just thought it would be awesome to have this. Though the potential for things going wrong is huge.
